Product details
Overview
LT1996CDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision, gain-selectable difference amplifier IC integrating eight matched SiChrome resistors and a low-offset op amp in a single 10-lead DFN package. It delivers gain accuracy <0.05%, CMRR >80 dB at G=9, rail-to-rail output swing within 40 mV of rails, and operates from 2.7 V single or ±18 V split supply - ideal for high-accuracy differential sensing in medical instrumentation and strain gauge interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LT1996CDD#PBF datasheet, LT1996CDD#PBF pinout, LT1996CDD#PBF application, or LT1996CDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include verified resistor matching (±0.03% typ at G=9), guaranteed 85°C operation, input voltage range up to ±60 V on P9/M9 pins, and confirmed compatibility with difference, inverting, and noninverting configurations without external components.
Technical Context
The LT1996CDD#PBF implements a fully integrated difference amplifier architecture where internal 450 kΩ-based resistor networks (450k/9, 450k/27, 450k/81, and 450k) are connected to dedicated input pins (P9/P27/P81/REF and M9/M27/M81), enabling precise gain setting via pin strapping. Its internal op amp features 50 µV max input offset voltage and 560 kHz gain-bandwidth product, optimized for stability across noise gains ≥2 into ≤500 pF capacitive loads.
Resistor matching is guaranteed by gain error testing (±0.03% max at G=9 for LT1996CDD), with temperature coefficient <3 ppm/°C and nonlinearity <10 ppm - enabling CMRR >90 dB at G=27 and >100 dB at G=81 under ±15 V supply conditions. The device supports true rail-to-rail output while maintaining input common-mode range extension beyond supplies on P9/M9 pins (±60 V).

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode input voltage supported by LT1996CDD#PBF?
The LT1996CDD#PBF supports ±60 V common-mode voltage on P9 and M9 pins when P81 and M81 are grounded and supply is ±15 V. For other pins (P27, M27, P81, M81), the limit is ±15.3 V with ±15 V supply. These ratings are validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Applications Information section of the official datasheet.
Does LT1996CDD#PBF require external resistors to configure gain?
No, the LT1996CDD#PBF does not require external resistors. Its internal precision SiChrome resistor network (450k/9, 450k/27, 450k/81, and 450k) enables gain configuration from –117 to 118 via pin strapping of P9/P27/P81/REF and M9/M27/M81. This eliminates external component count and matching errors inherent in discrete resistor solutions.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT1996CDD#PBF?
The LT1996CDD#PBF is guaranteed to operate from –40°C to 85°C (Industrial grade). This is explicitly specified in Note 4 and Note 5 of the Electrical Characteristics table, and confirmed by the "C" suffix in the part number per Linear Technology's ordering guide.
How does LT1996CDD#PBF achieve rail-to-rail output while maintaining precision?
The LT1996CDD#PBF achieves rail-to-rail output through an internal output stage designed to swing within 40 mV of VCC or VEE at no load, while preserving precision via matched thin-film resistors (0.03% max gain error at G=9) and a low-drift op amp (50 µV max VOS). Output accuracy is maintained across temperature due to <3 ppm/°C resistor TC and correlated gain error testing.
Can LT1996CDD#PBF be used in single-supply 3.3 V systems?
Yes, the LT1996CDD#PBF operates down to 2.7 V total supply voltage, making it compatible with 3.3 V single-supply systems. At 3.3 V, the input common-mode range is 0.98 V to 1.86 V (with VREF = 1.25 V), and output swings to within 150 mV of rails under 1 mA load - verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VOUT parameter, VS = 3 V, 0 V condition).
